Just in the distance, Li Wei's father, Li Endi, the Minister of Justice, looked at his son's useless appearance and shook his head helplessly.
Li Lingyun, on the other hand, was looking at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, who had changed their appearances in the distance. This serious and stern old man frowned and said, "The results are announced today. It would be fine if you don't care about your own grades, but you are flirting here like this! Mu Xu is teaching students, but he is teaching them more and more like him!"
At the end, Li Lingyun's face became even more serious.
Cao Shen, who was standing at the side, said jokingly, "Why, you are going to submit another report to His Majesty, saying that on the day when the results were announced, a couple was flirting in front of the Imperial Examination Hall?"
Zhang Gu nodded and said, "If His Majesty reads this memorial, he will probably think that you, Lord Li, have not arranged a marriage for your son, so you are angry."
Upon hearing this, Li Lingyun immediately glared at Zhang Gu and Cao Shen.
Good-natured Li Chunfang immediately stood up and said, "Alright, alright, haha, stop joking, stop joking, how can such a thing be a joke."
Zhang Gu and Cao Shen were just joking, so they naturally bowed and apologized.
Li Lingyun was not a stingy person. He bowed in return and sighed. He looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang who were still flirting and disguising themselves. "I just want to have a grandson. I don't want Su Wenqing to talk about how good his granddaughter was, how someone took a fancy to her and wanted to take her as his apprentice, and how his grandson was naughty. It's annoying to hear that!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Li Chunfang also said: "That's right, my girl is also a crazy person."
But after saying this, Li Chunfang looked at Zhang Gu and said, "Old Zhang, I know Cao Shen came here for his noisy brother and wanted to see if there is any talented woman who can be matched with him. But what are you doing here? I remember that your eldest son is only fourteen years old and the little girl is only ten years old."
Zhang Gu said seriously, "I'm here to see your fun."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Li Lingyun and others, but also the other officials around who were worried about the marriage of their children, all glared at Zhang Gu.
Zhang Gu immediately said, "Just kidding, I just came to see these children."
As he spoke, Zhang Gu looked at the students in front of him, some of whom were dejected, some covered their faces and cried, some were extremely excited, some were leaving silently with their families in sorrow, there was also a girl who failed the exam and looked very miserable with tears in her eyes, and some were jumping for joy with their families. He sighed.
Li Endi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Zhang Gu, you are here to watch me, right? If my kid fails the exam, you will ridicule him!"
When everyone heard this, they were surprised, and then laughed again.
Zhang Gu was even more stunned, then he remembered Li Endi's son Li Wei, and immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm here with Xingyue, okay? Li Jiulang is busy at the Ministry of Revenue and can't come, so he asked me to come with you. He said that Xingyue insisted on seeing the results of the second lady of the Taifu family and Cui Yu's niece!"
The officials present all laughed when they heard this, but looked at the students in front of them.
Everyone felt sad in their hearts, because once upon a time, they were all like these students, going through hardships and taking exams countless times, crying when they failed and being extremely excited when they passed.
just
As far as the eye can see, he inexplicably saw the young couple again, who were in a completely different scene from the current one. The young couple at the moment were not flirting with each other, but were staring at each other.
Everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads helplessly again. Although there are no rules on what to do at this time and place today, you two look like students, so can you please pay attention to your ranking?
Can't we go home and do all the flirting and love stuff?
The people of the Su family are actually not far away from Su Changan and the others, but because there are too many people, and they don’t have the time to pay attention to them.
At that moment, Su Liu looked at Su Zifeng and Su Liheng who had squeezed into the crowd with a serious expression.
Except for Su Liu, Su Zhang, Su Qingning and others, everyone else came, and each of them looked solemn and nervous.
Especially the little maidservant beside Su Linhan, who kept standing on tiptoe, trying hard to look at the top list, thinking that her young lady's name must be on it.
Cui Yuer was also standing on the Su family's side, but like Su Linhan, Cui Yuer had a calm and composed look on her face.
Su Linhan looked at her mother and said with a smile: "Mom, I passed the exam because I read a lot of books. If I didn't pass, it means I need to study more. I can take the exam again next year. There's no need to be so upset. My elder sister also told me that I should just follow fate now."
Mrs. Su Liu glanced at Su Linhan and was about to say something, but Su Zhaoxin shouted, "I saw it. Fourth brother waved his hand. Second sister is not on the B list, and Sister Cui is not on the list either."
but
Just when Su Zhaoxin finished speaking.
Suddenly, a loud voice shouted out, "First! Yan Shu! You got the first place in the A list! You're the one who gets treated for the meal! And Zuo Shaoweng, you're second! Wei Zijian, you bastard, got the 39th place in the A list, Li Wei! You're the 22nd."
The source of the voice was naturally Liu Xuan, a tall and strong man standing in front of Jiabang.
but
Everyone around heard what Liu Xuan said, so the rest is not important!
The important thing is
First place in the A-list
Yan Shu!
Everyone was stunned and horrified, wondering who Yan Shu was!
But those who knew Yan Shu were startled and turned to look at where Yan Shu was.
People who were familiar with Yan Shu looked at Yan Shu and shook their heads helplessly, as if they had expected this result a long time ago and were not surprised at all.
but
Li Wei, who was beside Yan Shu, was originally very nervous. When he heard that he was ranked 22nd on the A list, he squeezed Yan Shu excitedly and said, "I passed. I don't have to be punished by the ruler. I..."
When it comes to this.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zuo Shaoweng: "Zuo Shaoweng! You actually..."
But just when he was about to say Zuo Shaoweng, you are actually second, his expression suddenly froze again, and then he looked at Yan Shu in horror, and subconsciously let go of his hand: "Yan Shu, you..."
"Congratulations to Yan Shu for winning the first place in the imperial examination." Zuo Shaoweng smiled at Li Wei's silly look and bowed to Yan Shu.
Yan Shu immediately responded: "It was just luck, Brother Zuo, you are too polite."
Wei Zijian reacted immediately, looking at Yan Shu with excitement and said, "Good boy! As expected, you won the first place. No wonder you are so calm! I don't care if you have money or not, you have to treat me to this meal! I want to go to Qingya Restaurant!"
Li Wei also reacted at this time, and said awkwardly: "Congratulations, Yan Shu."
Before Yan Shu could speak.
People around who knew Yan Shu came forward one after another.
"Congratulations, Brother Yan, for winning the first place in the imperial examination. It turns out that you are a real person who never shows your true colors."
"Congratulations, Brother Yan."
"Congratulations, Brother Yan."
……
In just a moment, Yan Shu was surrounded by everyone.
The first place in the A list is not the top scholar. Everyone on the A list can take the palace examination, and the first place in the palace examination is the top scholar.
just
The champion is not the number one scholar, but since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, eight out of ten champions are the number one scholars!
Therefore, everyone wanted to come forward and make friends with Yan Shu.
but
Naturally, some people congratulated Zuo Shao Weng, Li Wei and others, but the title of the first place in the A list was too famous, so no one cared about Zuo Shao Weng and others.
Yan Shu, who was surrounded by the crowd, was a little anxious when he saw his friends being squeezed away, but he had too many gifts to return and could not care less about some of them.
And it was among this crowd.
How many people looked at Yan Shu with envy, how many people had jealousy in their eyes, and how many people looked at Yan Shu with indignation in their hearts, wondering how such a poor boy from a humble background who had to rely on others for food every day could have passed the exam!
It must be a conspiracy?!
The various forms of life were vividly displayed in the previous list, and now the surroundings of Yan Shu were even more clearly visible.
Li Ziyu looked at Yan Shu with envy. Wei Anming came back and told him that he was ranked 68th on the B list.
The first place in the A list and the 68th in the B list are quite a big gap.
Moreover, if it were not for the favor, Li Ziyu would have failed the exam, so even though he was envious, he was also glad that he did not have to go home to inherit the family business but could instead become an official!
As for the others, Liu Sanbai is at the bottom of the A list, Wei Zijian is third on the B list, Wei Anming is also at the bottom of the A list, and Liu Xuan is twenty-fourth on the B list.
It can be said that all of these people passed the exam.
"Come on, come on, make way."
But at this moment, such voices appeared outside the surrounding students or some wealthy businessmen with ideas.
When everyone looked back, they saw that it was the officials, and they immediately made way for them.
The leader was naturally Li Chunfang, and there were several other adults.
However, Li Chunfang came up, grabbed Yan Shu and said, "Yan Shu, I won't introduce myself to you, but Mu Xu, Xun Kuang and I have asked about you and know that you are unmarried. I am also from a poor family, so there is no such thing as a good match between us. I just want to meet my girl?"
A female official at the side immediately said, "Li Chunfang! There is no such person as you. You are actually oppressing our Hui Yuanlang."
Another old man also said: "Lao Li, this is not the way you do things. Believe it or not, I am angry with you. Your kid is working for my eldest son in Yangzhou!"
Seeing that Li Chunfang did not abide by the ethics of martial arts and called Xun Kuang Mu Xu as soon as he spoke, and also called him a kid, although he did not make his identity clear, what is the difference between this and making his identity clear!
Those around him also wanted to talk to Yan Shu about the marriages of their younger generations, and the officials who were trying to match them up suddenly became anxious.
And when I heard the name Le Xuan Fang.
Many people around who knew the situation immediately gasped!
Be nice!
Isn’t this the Minister of the Ministry of Rites?
A third-rank official of the current dynasty!
Moreover, this is nothing compared to the official who was the Minister of the Honglu Temple and was blowing his beard and glaring!
Immediately!
They all looked at Yan Shu, who was at a loss, and became even more envious and jealous!
This road to success has been paved solidly for Yan Shu!
rather than far away
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang also paused their previous topic. They looked at Li Chunfang and other prominent officials arguing over Yan Shu.
Xia Fengxiang rolled her eyes, but she could understand that these people were trying to find a son-in-law for her, so she didn't intend to say anything.
but
In fact, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang knew last night that Yan Shu was the first.
To be precise, the lists of A and B were sent to the palace after they came out yesterday.
